New crewmates
Thanks to the free to play weekend and amazing steam sale, my crew of 3 has grown to 7!
A few more of my friends tried out the game and loved it!
Any other captains get a boost to their roster?

Well not Captain. Made a few steam friends from the free weekend and bought the game fully.
Our first game we got husk infection and we all died, then someone blew up the reactor and we sunk to the bottom of the sea.

Good to hear you got the full barotrauma experience!

I was one of the "free weekend" players, I join a crew of around 12 and had an awesome captain who showed me the ropes and the rest of the crew was great too.
I only wish I could remember their name so I could join the roster -_-

I did but I didn’t. My dad finally decided to try it on Saturday and then we got a fat 2 hours of playtime before the event ended and he decided not to buy it on sale. TBH two player co-op sucks ass imo, I’m probably not gonna do multiplayer again until I have a full 5-man crew for all the talents.
First time run went like complete shit. Our first missions were scanning a ruin and killing a moloch. Ruin run took way too damn long (haven’t done one in a while, fuck swarm feeders), we were down to 1 fuel rod and thus I decided to book it to the Moloch. And somehow we ended up engaging from below which meant shit was fucked right from the start. If we had got in above the Moloch like I’d planned I could’ve killed it piss easily with the railgun. Instead it slammed the ship (humpback, everyone says start with dugong but I refuse to use a sub that does not have fabricator and decon) into the ground and completely annihilated the front 2/3rds of the vessel. Just gave up there since I had no chance of getting the moloch into the railgun’s coverage area.
Second attempt saw a successful wreck salvage mission before I had to go to bed because school. Didn’t even get to finish the level. That was Sunday night.
Not in the mood to play SP atm because I’m in the middle of the worst part of the game which is moving all of my shit to a new submarine. Made the entirely retarded decision to buy Azimuth when I know I’m going to switch to Kastrull eventually. Should’ve just saved up for Kastrull so I only had to move my shit once but I hate humpback with a passion despite all it’s gotten me through. Bots always leave that lower front storage closet open so I have to listen to water sloshing constantly as I drive and it throws off the ballast levels. Then there’s the random power outages where power consumption goes through the fucking roof for no apparent reason. Rant concluded, back to starsector for now.

None of my friends cared to try it :( i just bought it from the weekend and am loving it though, hopefully ill find a nice, non-griefing crew when i get around to trying public multiplayer
Not a popular opinion but: Try stay away from public campaigns, griefers are extremely common and can ruin an entire save in minutes, which is not an issue for missions or private games which I recommend far more.
You think ill have a better chance asking in discords or this sub even? Or no
I think you definitely would it never hurts to try
